The true cost of firestopping is the price to purchase materials, transport both material and people to the jobsite, install and quality control a firestop installation that becomes a system when installed to the listing and manufacturers installation instructions. Firestopping inspection can be performed to ASTM E 2174, Standard Practice for On-Site Inspection of Installed Firestops and ASTM E 2393, Standard Practice for the On-Site Inspection of Installed Fire-Resistive Joint Systems and Perimeter Fire Barriers or other methods. In this document there is information about when the ASTM Firestop Inspection Standards are used, why inspection takes place, possible methods, and much more. This Page Intentionally Left Blank Key elements to firestop inspection include and are not limited to: • ASTM E 2174, ASTM E 2393 Firestop Inspection Standards. • Listings from an Approved Source such as UL, FM Approvals, Intertek or other testing laboratory directory. • Guide Information from the directory that might be used during the installation and inspection. • Engineering Judgements or Equivalent Fire-Resistance-Rated Assemblies (EFRRA’s). • Firestop Manufacturers installation instructions. • Firestop Manufactures recommended inspection procedures. • International Firestop Council’s Firestop Inspection Guide and Recommended Guidelines for Performing Destructive Testing for Installed Penetration Firestop Systems, Fire-Resistive Joint Systems, or Perimeter Fire Barrier Systems. (included as an appendix to this document) • Firestop Manufacturer Safety Data Sheets Firestop inspection must be performed by people who understand the firestop industry protocol, who work for companies that also understand the industry’s technical zero- Introduction and tolerance nature. Without understanding how to use the tools listed below and the Background information in this and other documents, firestop inspection will not produce desired results. The results—a firestop installation to the tested and listed system and manufacturers installation instructions—protects the integrity of Fire-Resistance-Rated and Smoke-Resistant Assemblies—for fire and life safety. Why Firestop Special Inspection . Firestopping inspection is part of the FCIA’s DIIM™ of Firestopping—the proper Design, Installation, Inspection and Maintenance of firestopping—and all of fire-resistance-rated and smoke-resistant assemblies means better reliability over the building’s life cycle. Firestop inspection can help Building Owners and Managers and General Contractors get the correct value paid for firestopping installation services. The I & I, Installation and Inspection are tied together, and each is as critical as the other to success. Plus, ongoing maintenance FCIA Firestop Manual of Practice Chapter 6, Section 1, Page 3 Revision Date: January, 2018 can only happen if the firestop systems were installed right in the first place. By using a FCIA Member, FM 4991 Approved, UL/ULC Qualified Firestop Contractor, and an Accredited FCIA Member Firestopping Inspection Agency with competent Firestop Inspectors, FCIA believes that Firestopping can be built right so the Building Owner and Manager can maintain fire-resistance for the life of the building. Why have company accreditation for Inspection Agencies and Contractor Companies plus individual competencies evaluated instead of just ‘certified inspectors’? FCIA believes strongly in the DIIM strategy for firestopping—and has since the inception of the FCIA. FCIA believes that Proper D-Design of firestopping by a Registered Professional CCS or RSW specifying that tested and listed systems and manufacturers installation instructions by FCIA Member Manufacturers; and I-Installation completed by FCIA Member, FM 4991 or UL/ULC Qualified Firestop Contractors to the listings and manufacturers installation instructions; I-Inspection to ASTM E 2174 and ASTM E 2393 Inspection standards by FCIA Member accredited Firestop Inspection Agencies with Firestop Special Inspectors who have the education and experience to understand the firestop systems analysis—to the SYSTEMS and Installation instructions—completely; and firestopping then must be M-Maintained for the building life cycle for fire and life safety. By following the FCIA’s DIIM Philosophy, Firestopping can function when called upon by fire or smoke. Background Introduction and FCIA Photo Background Firestop products become firestop systems when the products are installed to the tested and listed system from a directory such as Underwriters Laboratories, (UL), Intertek, Southwest Research Institute, or Approved by FM Approvals, or listed in other nationally recognized testing agency directory and the manufacturer’s published installation instructions. The FCIA Firestop Manual of Practice Chapter 6, Section 1, Page 4 Revision Date: January, 2018 firestop products need to be installed exactly as described in the directory listing and to the manufacturer’s installation instructions to become an acceptable “system”. Engineering judgments (EJs) also must be installed exactly as shown in the manufacturer’s installation instructions and on the EJ. In the case of EJ’s, the installation instructions are a combination of the manufacturer’s published installation instructions and the EJ documentation with specific parameters given about the assembly. Inspections of firestopping have occurred since the start of the industry in the late 1970s. In nuclear power plants, inspection was normal and expected. Firestop system inspection started to appear in commercial, industrial and institutional occupancies somewhat in the 1970s, but not really until the early to mid-1990s. The project manual, or specification, is the recipe for construction to take place on a building communicating requirements for all types of products used to erect the structure. Specifications have had firestop inspection in the Firestop Section for some time. The Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) and Construction Specifications Canada (CSC) both jointly develop and maintain a numbering system for the organization of the project manual, or specification, used to construct the building. The numbering system is called “MasterFormat”. The section designated for Firestopping in CSI/CSC’s MasterFormat is 07-84-00, Firestopping. Division 7 of the MasterFormat, the master section, is where thermal and moisture protection is located. Firestopping falls in this thermal and moisture protection section. Also found in this section of MasterFormat is insulation, air barriers, roofing and waterproofing, plus Intumescent Fire Resistive Materials (IFRM) and Spray Fire Resistive Materials (SFRM) fireproofing. There are five sections for firestopping that deal with specific products. The Firestop Contractors International Association (FCIA) recommends that firestopping be specified in the single section in 07-84-00, Firestopping. Firestopping is a SYSTEMS oriented installation. In addition to firestop products being selected that meet the physical requirement needs of the building, there must be testing that proves suitability of use of the products in specific applications. The testing results are published as SYSTEMS in the various directories from labs referenced above and are referenced as part of the specification. Introduction and Background MasterFormat; Construction Specifications Institute, Construction Specifications Canada Image As to the 07-84-00 Specification, it is FCIA’s belief that firestopping be specified in one place, and only once. That means that there is no specification for firestopping in the mechanical, electrical or plumbing, wallboard, masonry, concrete or other specification section. By specifying firestopping in one place, there is less chance for confusion and FCIA Firestop Manual of Practice Chapter 6, Section 1, Page 5 Revision Date: January, 2018 conflict in a document. If firestopping is specified in three or more places, requirements could be lost, and major confusion takes place on firestop projects. Leading specifiers have specified firestop inspection even before there was an inspection standard for firestopping and before building codes required them. Rather than a standard, they simply specified, “independent inspection of firestopping, paid for by building owner, to be performed by a third party . .” in Part 3, Execution Section of the 07-84-00 Firestopping Specification. Building codes also, in some cases, require firestop inspection. The International Code Council, (ICC) develops and publishes the International Building Code (IBC). The IBC has a complete chapter—Chapter 17—devoted to “Special Inspection.” International Code Council (ICC) Image In the 2007/2008 ICC IBC development cycle, the ASTM E 2174 and ASTM E 2393 Standards for the Inspection of Penetration and Joint Firestop Systems passed, successfully and through the ICC consensus,

FOREWORD This technical guide was prepared in response to increasing concerns over the requirements for through-penetration firestopping as mandated by codes, specified by system designers, and required by code officials and/or other authorities having jurisdiction. The language in the model codes, the definitions used, and the expectations of local code authorities varies widely among the model codes and has caused confusion in the building construction industry. Contractors are often forced to bear the brunt of inadequate or confusing specifications, misunderstandings of code requirements, and lack of adequate plan review prior to construction. This guide contains descriptions, illustrations, definitions, recommendations on industry practices, designations of responsibility, references to other documents and guidance on plan and specification requirements. It is intended to be a generic educational tool for use by all parties to the construction process. Firestopping Guideline • Second Edition iii FIRE AND SMOKE CONTROL COMMITTEE Phillip E.

  • DASNY Firestopping Design Requirements
    DASNY Firestopping Design Requirements FIRESTOPPING DESIGN REQUIREMENTS A. DESCRIPTION 1. To help prevent the rapid spread of fire through fire-rated construction within a building, certain walls, floors and joints are required to meet a specific fire resistance rating – the period of time during which a building component has been tested to confine a fire or continue to perform a structural function or both. Through and membrane penetrations, perimeter barriers and fire resistive joints created during the construction process require the installation of firestop systems in order to bring the building component back to its original fire rating. 2. Through and membrane penetration firestopping is a specific construction consisting of all materials required to fill the opening around penetrating items such as cables, cable trays, conduits, ducts, pipes, steel beams, bar joists, etc. and their means of support through the building component to prevent spread of fire. 3. Fire Resistive/Construction joint and perimeter barrier firestopping is an integral part of the fire resistive assembly that allows for movement in the construction joints such as floor to wall, perimeter barrier, curtain wall joints, head of wall, etc. B. SPECIFICATIONS 1. The standard Dormitory Authority Firestopping Specification Section 078400 shall be utilized and edited to reflect the specific project requirements. 2. Provide reference from specific trade sections (Mechanical, Plumbing & Electrical) to the above section 078400. C. DESIGN REQUIREMENTS 1.
